Chennai: Deutsche Telekom's enterprise customer division, T-Systems, and global IT services provider Cognizant on Wednesday announced a global systems integration alliance.
"The alliance is primarily aimed at catering to European corporations with global delivery requirements for system integration services," said Francisco D'Souza, president and CEO of Cognizant.
"In partnership, we can deliver truly unique global IT services, bringing together our complementary strengths with the goal of dramatically increasing the value provided to customers," he said.
"This unique partnership - between a global delivery IT powerhouse and a European giant - will enable customers to leverage the benefits of global delivery," the companies said in a joint statement.
The partnership combines the onsite and offshore expertise of T-Systems and Cognizant across industry segments. The new alliance will draw upon a combined talent base of over 110,000 employees worldwide, comprising more than 40,000 employees working offshore.
Expanded operations in key geographies - Europe, Americas and Asia - are expected to significantly augment the growth of the two companies.
"This new alliance will make global delivery a reality in Europe. Strategically we are the first to give our customers unprecedented access to a new service and delivery model," said Reinhard Clemens, management board member for business customers at Deutsche Telekom and CEO of T-Systems.
T-Systems has a strong position in the European market for ICT services, in particular in infrastructure services like data centre and desktop outsourcing, global voice, data and IP services as well as in application development, application management and system integration services.
